Definitions

  • the present invention relates to printheads employed in ink-jet printers, and, more particularly, to control of internal particle contamination.
  • the orifices through which the ink is expelled in the printhead are on the order of 50 ⁇ m in diameter.
  • the passages can be as small as widths of ⁇ 40 ⁇ m and heights of ⁇ 25 ⁇ m. Any particles larger than about 25 ⁇ m can become trapped at various locations within the pen in or near the firing chamber and cause clogging. Of course, smaller particles can also become trapped, depending on the aspect ratio of the particle. Such clogging, of course, interferes with the quality of the printed image.
  • Ink-jet pens have a fine mesh filter to separate internal particle contamination from the bulk ink supply before the ink reaches the firing chambers.
  • the mesh is sized to about 25 ⁇ m.
  • a smaller diameter jet, or orifice is required. This is achieved by decreasing printhead nozzle diameter.
  • a finer mesh filter may be required, which in turn would require a larger filter area so as to minimize pressure drop across the filter.
  • a solution to the problem of particle contamination is addressed by European Patent Application No. 92102748.8.
  • a plurality of lands are provided, both near each entrance to a firing resistor and between the entrances.
  • a nozzle plate which contains the nozzles through which the ink is expelled, tends to sag in unsupported areas, including over the ink feed channel.
  • Such pens are referred to as “top-shooter” or “roof-shooter” pens.
  • the sagging nozzle plate can pinch off the supply of ink, thereby reducing the usefulness of the pen.
  • a "barrier reef” configuration comprising a plurality of cays, or pillars, each pillar associated with the entrance to a firing chamber.
  • the pillars are spaced apart by an amount less than or equal to the smallest dimension of the system, and are placed as close as possible to the common ink feed channel so as to support the orifice plate and keep particles outside the firing chamber.
  • the smallest dimension of the system is likely to be either the nozzle size or the width of the passageway (the barrier inlet channel) connecting the source of ink to the firing chamber.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a barrier reef design in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a portion of the barrier reef in association with the ink feed channel and barrier inlet channel, in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 1 depicts a printing or drop ejecting element 10, formed on a substrate 12.
  • Each firing element 10 comprises a barrier inlet channel, or discrete ink passage, 14, with a resistor 16 situated at one end 14a thereof.
  • the barrier inlet channel 14 and drop ejection chamber 15 encompassing the resistor 16 on three sides are formed in a layer 17 which comprises a photopolymerizable material which is appropriately masked and etched/developed to form the desired patterned opening.
  • This material 17 is often referred to as a barrier layer.
  • Ink (not shown) is introduced at the opposite end 14b of the barrier inlet channel 14, as indicated by arrow "A", from an ink feed channel, or common liquid passage, indicated generally at 18.
  • the ink feed channel 18 passes through the substrate 12 and is provided with a continuous supply of ink from an ink reservoir (not shown), located beneath the substrate.
  • a pair of opposed projections 24 at the entrance to the barrier inlet channel 14 define the channel width, as indicated by the arrow "B".
  • Each such printing element 10 comprises the various features set forth above.
  • Each resistor 16 is seen to be set in a drop ejection chamber 15 defined by three barrier walls and a fourth side open to the ink feed channel 18 of ink common to at least some of the elements 10, with a plurality of nozzles 20 comprising orifices disposed in a cover plate 22 near the resistors 16.
  • Each orifice 20 is thus seen to be operatively associated with a resistor 16 for ejecting a quantity of ink normal to the plane defined by that resistor and through the orifices toward a print medium (not shown) in defined patterns to form alphanumeric characters and graphics thereon.
  • the barrier reef design of the invention is achieved by modifying the barrier mask to add elliptical pillars 26 along the edge of the ink feed channel 18. That is, the pillars 26 are formed at the same time the barrier layer 17 is processed to form the barrier inlet channels 14, the firing chambers 15, and the like therein. Thus, the pillars 28 are the same height as the barrier layer 17. The major axis of the each pillar 26 is perpendicular to the ink flow from the ink feed channel 18 to the barrier inlet channel 14.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the barrier reef configuration of the invention.
  • the spacing between these pillars 26 is designed so as to provide support for orifice plate 22 in the vicinity of the ink feed channel be and 18 to filter out internal particles from ink before the particles reach the barrier inlet channel 14. Dust or other contamination particles will be caught by these pillars 26 at locations far enough from each individual nozzle 20 so as not to affect nozzle performance.
  • the length C of the barrier inlet channel 14 is decreased, compared to the prior art design. This maintains the operating frequency to offset the increased fluid resistance due to the presence of the pillars 26.
  • the value of the length of the barrier inlet channel 14 was reduced by about 15% from the prior art configuration. This correction was found to be effective so that there was no change in print quality on paper in comparison to the prior art configuration when printing at the required speed.
  • the minimum spacing D between each pillar 26 should be less than the minimum dimension of the system.
  • the size of the orifice 20 is the dictating dimension.
  • an alternative possible limiting dimension is the width B of the barrier inlet channel 14.
  • the pillar 26 cannot be made too small, or it will not adhere to the substrate 12 throughout the usable life of the printhead.
  • the distance from the pillar 26 to the center of the resistor 16 is another factor that may be adjusted. In general, the longer that distance, the better, so as to allow flow from a larger area near the entrance to the barrier inlet channel 14, if a contamination particle is caught at the pillars, thus blocking ink flow from the ink feed channel 18, basically making the presence of pillars 26 transparent to resistor operation.
  • the pillars 26 are placed as close to the edge of the ink feed channel 18 as possible. In this way, it serves to screen particles, keeping them in the common area. Preferably, the pillars 26 are placed as close to the edge of the ink feed channel 18 as manufacturing tolerance will allow for the processing of substrate 12. Further, since the pillar 26 is the same height as the barrier layer 17, and is in fact formed during the definition of the barrier layer, it serves as a support pillar to prevent partial collapse of the nozzle plate 22 in the unsupported region, namely, at the edge of the ink feed channel 18. Such partial collapse in prior art pen designs has been responsible for pinching off ink flow over the life of the pen and causing dot placement errors.
  • pillar minor axis diameter ⁇ y min where Y min is the smallest dimension that would still provide good adhesion throughout the useful life of the pen.
  • Y min 50 ⁇ m.
  • the length of the barrier inlet channel 14 is then reduced from the prior art design by an amount equivalent to about 10 to 20% of the value of y min .
  • Using an elliptical cross-section permits narrower spacing between the pillars 21 to accommodate smaller orifi 20, yet allowing larger pillars without significantly increasing ink flow resistance.
  • reef configuration of the invention permits use of the present filter mesh. There is no need to change to a finer mesh filter.
  • the pillar gap can be adjusted to achieve the best contamination control for each ink-jet printhead design.
  • the pillar design can be modified by using different geometry to optimize adhesion to substrate.
  • the pillar design can be modified to provide fluid damping and refill control in addition to functioning as internal particle contamination control.
  • the pillars can act as support pillars between the substrate and the orifice plate for manufacturing and during operation.
  • thermal ink-jet printheads The use of a plurality of pillars in thermal ink-jet printheads is expected to find use in pens capable of operating at high frequencies and smaller nozzles.
